The Undead Empire That Travels Through the Multiverse

If you have enough understanding of the history of European colonialism and the era of great geographical discovery, you will know that since Columbus discovered the New World, the Spaniards quickly defeated the Incas, the Mayans, who were the most civilized among the natives of the American continent, by virtue of their superiority in sea power. Humans and Aztecs occupied the region of Central and South America known today as Latin America and looted vast amounts of wealth.

Relying on the wealth plundered from the New World, the Spaniards developed rapidly and reached their peak in the sixteenth century.

At that time, King Carlos I of Spain once said: "In my territory, the sun never sets." The Spanish Empire was also called the Empire on which the sun never sets.

The most important economic lifeline for the Spanish Empire at that time was naturally the New World route, and with the construction of a large number of plantations on the fertile land of the Americas, the colonists who lacked labor force plundered a large number of people from Africa, so the most important thing in history The notorious triangular trade was also born.

However, whether it was the New World route discovered by Columbus or the subsequent triangular trade route, after arriving in the Americas from Europe or Africa, the two routes finally arrived in the Caribbean.

It is precisely because of such an important geographical location that the Caribbean has become the most important trade gateway of the Americas.

It can be said that as long as the Caribbean region is controlled, it is tantamount to controlling this golden route, and then can control the entire American continent.

"Now the entire Caribbean region is basically controlled by the Spaniards. Islands such as Cuba, Puerto Rico, Santo Domingo, and Barbados are all in the hands of the Spaniards. If we want to control the entire Caribbean region, we can only snatch it from the Spaniards through war." Get off to this place.” On the wall of the Governor’s Office is a newly drawn map of the forces in the Caribbean region, and Beckett is standing in front of the map with a long stick in his hand to explain.

"Although the Spaniards' Invincible Fleet was defeated by us, they still have a strong strength in New Spain. With our current strength, I am afraid that we cannot defeat them." Governor Swan knew the situation very well, so he was not optimistic about it. This plan.

As the governor of Port Royal, he knew that Britain's power in the Caribbean was not enough to defeat the Spaniards, let alone seize the entire Caribbean through a war.

You must know that although Spain was defeated by Britain at this time, it was still an old empire on which the sun never sets. Although the loss of the Armada greatly weakened its sea power, it did not cause a great decline in its national power.

Relying on the blood sucking of the New Spanish colonies in the Americas, the Spanish Empire was still strong for a while.

The United Kingdom had to wait until the end of the Seven Years War, known as the First World War in the true sense, before it surpassed Spain in a true sense and completely established its maritime hegemony.

And now there are still more than ten years before the great war that will spread to Europe, Africa, America and Asia.

But it was obviously impossible for Chen Mo to wait so long, and it was not in his interest. After all, he established his power by controlling the power of Britain in the Caribbean, not to help the British control the Americas.

So in the face of Governor Swann's doubts, Chen Mo just looked at Beckett and asked him, "How is the fleet preparing?"

"At present, the fleet of the East India Company has been assembled. There are a total of ten third-tier battleships, thirty fifth-tier cruisers, and fifty light cruisers. They will arrive in the Caribbean from Africa in a week." Beckett replied. Looking at Chen Mo's question, the expression on his face was full of pride.

Such a huge fleet is even comparable to the navy of a country. Even if the East India Company is indeed wealthy, it is not easy to own such a huge fleet.

Four years ago, when the top executives of the East India Company were turned into vampires by Chen Mo, the entire East India Company fell under his control.

A large-scale shipbuilding program began.

The Blood Sail was also built at this time, and it was one of the first completed warships in the entire shipbuilding plan.

In the following three years, the East India Company successively built more than one hundred new ships in the areas under its control around the world. These ships were handed over to experienced captains and assigned to various parts of the world to maintain the East India The company's sphere of influence and interests are also accumulating experience.

Now this fleet has accumulated enough experience, so they received a summoning order three months ago, and after gathering in Africa, they sailed to the Caribbean Sea.

"Such a huge fleet..." Governor Swan was shocked, and at the same time worried about the strong strength of the East India Company. He was a little worried that the East India Company with such a powerful strength would betray Britain.

Governor Swann's change of mood naturally couldn't be hidden from Chen Mo, but he was not in a hurry to deal with Governor Swann, but asked him: "Your Excellency, with this fleet, plus the Flying Dutchman and the Do you still think we can't defeat the Spaniards with a fleet of privateers?"

Hearing Chen Mo's question, Governor Swan could only nod his head honestly and said in affirmation: "If there is such a fleet, it can indeed defeat the Spaniards and control the entire Caribbean region."

Governor Swan's words made Chen Mo laugh, and he said to Beckett: "Make an attack plan, and start taking action when the fleet arrives."

As he said that, he also looked at Governor Swan, and said to him, "I'll leave it to you, Governor Swan, for logistical supplies. I don't want to have any problems with this kind of thing."

"Please rest assured that Port Royal will provide sufficient logistical support for this war." Although he was worried, Governor Swan decided to fully support this war.

He also understood that it would be of great benefit to Britain if he could control the entire Caribbean region through this war.

"Very well, gentlemen, then I wish our plan goes well and we can successfully control the entire Caribbean!" Chen Mo said as he raised his glass.

The East India Company executives in the office also raised their glasses, and the rippling red wine in the glasses exuded a charming fragrance.

In such an atmosphere, Governor Swan also raised his wine glass. Although he still had a grudge against the East India Company, he still wished the victory of the war together with others on this occasion.

It's just that when Governor Swan drank the wine in the glass, he suddenly found that the taste of this red wine was a bit strange, and it seemed to have a strange sweet aroma.

Without doubting him, Governor Swan, who thought it might be just a kind of spice added to the red wine, drank the wine in the glass.
